I can't believe it's end of May since I was in touch! :shock: :oops: I have just been mad busy the last few weeks, with all different aspects of life. The light is starting to appear at the end of the tunnel now, and after another mad week next week, I should be able to crack on and get this project...

Chapter 20 also uploaded. Hurrah!

The angle grinders seem to have stopped, while I still have my sanity - just! Though I shouldn't say that without touching wood, should I!?

P.S. I am aware that I still have one of the earlier chapters outstanding.

Chapter 19 uploaded.

This was my mother's favourite story (the book was given to her as a child), and I can see why! The ending brings a tear to my eye.

No problem, I have been really slow anyway, recently (dreadful flu over Easter, only just regaining normal voice!!).

Hope to have another chapter edited and uploaded by next week.

Happily, the workaround is not too onerous, so one way or another I should be sorted for that issue now

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

Also, thanks for your comment on the clicks. My working theory is that lack of PC resources is behind it. Time will tell..

Carod

Many thanks, I'll take a look.

Thank you very much Both. If I am going about things the wrong way, I do apologise, please put it down to ignorance. JayS, you said a very interesting thing which might be a clue. My laptop computer is starting to creak a little bit through age, and I notice the odd "stutter"- e.g. in it d...

Thank you for taking the time for such a detailed reply, JayS. Unfortunately I am a Windows user so I don't seem to get the same options as you. In particular, the options I get when exporting a file just seem to be completely different. But you have included some very useful tips on sound editing. ...
